Welcome to Julia's Site!

This blog is made available for several reasons. First and foremost, to keep those that know Julia current with what is going on with her and her progress. It is also my intention to educate those who do not know Julia about what happened to her, so they can make educated decisions about their own children. I want to welcome those of you with questions about her disease, treatments, and just the general life (the good and the bad) of living with a brain damaged child. Finally, it is a therapeutic release for me, Julia's mom, Susan. I love writing and need to get some of this stuff out of my head and onto "paper". Thank you!

Success!

Botox and valium at four years old - who would of thunk it....

Everything went fine today - other than I overslept and had 15 minutes to drive to aurora in rush hour! Thankfully, there was little traffice and I was only 15 minutes late....also thankfully, my mother made it on time and let them know I was running behind so they wouldn't cancel her appointment!

The general anesthesia only took about 7 minutes total, and she was up and moving like herself within 45 mintues.....she's a little crankier than normal today, but all in all, pretty much herself!

Now, just the three week wait to see what response we get! I hope it helps some! (A lot). But the doc said not to get too excited too soon - she used very low doses today and it may need to be redone with higher doses depending on how she responds......

Anyway, all in all it went well. Hoping for an early bath and bedtime for all. Stressful day, but all went great!
